Guest guest Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 Hi Catherine Most religious ideas seem to come from Mithras, don't they? I shall have to read up on it. It's a lovely spring morning today so I think we'll be off out to find somewhere to walk for a while and make the most of the weather.
